Salad in a jar - healthy and easy lunches! -- this works. But it's messy to get it out into a plate because everything is so tight packed. Easier just to pack a salad in a tupperware bowl and include a little jar of dressing.

I love the idea of these layered salad jars, especially the taco salad. I've never considered putting plantains in a salad before. I wonder if you can buy plastic mason jars? Less weight for my handbag!
